Summary
We all have the list. The life insurance you keep meaning to sort. The savings account you haven't checked in months. The subscriptions quietly draining your bank account. The vague sense that you should probably understand tax by now.

This is the night you finally deal with it, and it turns out to be far less painful than you'd think.

Inspired by the viral "admin night" trend, this is life admin reimagined as something social, achievable and, dare we say it, enjoyable. Over a couple of drinks and with real experts in the room, you'll work through the financial jobs you've been avoiding: reviewing your cover, checking your savings, killing off the subscriptions you forgot you had, and getting your head around the tax basics nobody ever actually taught you.

Expect a short, honest intro on why we all procrastinate on this stuff, two guided "admin sprints" to actually get things done on the night, an open Q&A with the experts, and a take-home toolkit so you leave with a plan rather than just good intentions. Bring your phone, bring your questions, and leave feeling weirdly on top of your life.

No jargon, no sales pitch, just the stuff nobody teaches you, made genuinely doable.
